VM-SERIES ON KVM/OPENSTACKProtect the applications and data within your Linux KVM/OpenStack cloud infrastructure

Simplify and automate security in open source cloud environments

VM-Series on KVM/OpenStack® is a virtual next-generation firewall for Linux KVM-based virtual infrastructure and OpenStack clouds.

Virtualized next-generation security that’s not a bottleneck

Expand your KVM and OpenStack cloud initiatives – without the performance and scalability issues that have traditionally constrained security in virtualized environments. With VM-Series firewalls, you can adopt and support cloud-centric virtual architectures with total confidence in your ability to secure them.

Security Considerations for Private vs. Public Clouds

Automate provisioning and deployment of VM-Series firewalls

Leverage bootstrapping templates in KVM-based environments or HEAT templates in OpenStack to customize your firewall during the initial provisioning process. This means, any time a new workload is provisioned, next-generation security can be deployed simultaneously.

Drive security policy updates with Dynamic Address Group feature

Use a rich set of APIs that can integrate with external orchestration tools and collect information about workload changes. Use the Dynamic Address Groups feature to easily update security policies and keep pace with changes to your virtualized workloads within KVM-based infrastructure or OpenStack clouds.

Leverage integrations with SDN vendors for automated security service insertion within OpenStack clouds

You can automate security service insertion of VM-Series firewalls within OpenStack clouds by leveraging integrations with SDN products, such as VMware® NSX®, Nuage Networks® VSP and Juniper Networks® Contrail®.
